Too Late Development

Ok guys, I'm not dead, here's the refined linework of the reptus mage. I'll go over it and add scales to him later and maybe clean some lines up and add some shadows.

Hey ho,

My Name's Jenna and I'm doing some concept art for a couple of miniatures that hopefully will be released along with the Warlord game. I'll put up a bit of my process here to give you an idea of what goes into a concept. I usually draw game concept art, but the principles are the same.

 

First up I gather reference for the drawing, because this is based on a pre-existing set of characters, I am looking at the miniatures that have aleady been done, as well as some previous concept art. Here's a page of reference to give you an idea.

 

 

Okay, once I have some reference and have got a bit of a feel for the character, I'll go ahead and do some thumbnail sketches, to find a good pose for the character.

 

 

 

 

 

I scanned these drawing, then picked on of the poses that I liked, and cut that one out, increased the size, then drew over the top of it to get a base drawing to go on with.

 

 

 

 

This guy is pretty rough, but I can clean him up later. The important thing is to have a body to draw armour etc over the top of.You can see I drew a profile of his head, as it isn't easy to see in the original drawing, and a sculptor might get angry at me :B

I duplicate this guy several times, then on a new layer in photoshop I draw costume on top.

 

 

 

 

You can see I've done a few variations, again so there is an option of which one to go on with. I'll post some more later on, it's not over yet!

We have several new team members that have pledged to sweat and bleed until Warlord is complete.  I plan on updating our Team page with information on everyone soon.  That way you can get to know us a little better.

Our new volunteer artist has reinvisioned our Reptus models, and I love what I see.  As soon as we get the model properly rigged in the game, I'll show it off for everyone here.

A month ago I tried to pull in some artists to do some volunteer work for us so that we could piece together a small video or even a demo of the game in action.  Unfortunatly all 3 of the guys that were doing 3D work didn't finish their models.  Dispite that their not done and may never be finished, I want to post them up and let everyone have a look.

 

Justicar:  The Justicar is a bread and butter unit for the Crusader Army.  So we thought it would be the perfect model to show our troop movements and unit instantiation.  Anyone familiar with Warlord knows who this guy is.

 

Long Striker:  The long striker is a reptus unit that has longer reach than other models.   It's a powerhouse compared to most other soldiers.  If we got the battle scripts completed in time we were hoping to show this model tear through some weaker units.  Unfortunatly the model will continue to hang in limbo.
